Good afternoon, Oak Lane families! We are beyond grateful for your incredible support of our Krispy Kreme Doughnut Fundraiser! Thanks to you, we sold nearly 600 boxes of doughnuts and over 110 certificates and BOGO cards—an amazing accomplishment! profiting over $5,800 for our general fund! 🎉 A huge congratulations to Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Ford’s Kindergarten Class for being our top sellers and winning a delicious Doughnut Party! Their class alone sold over 100 doughnuts/certificates and had more than $1,600 in sales—way to go! 👏 🍩 Pick-Up Details: Our fantastic PTO board will be working hard to sort and organize orders after picking them up from Krispy Kreme tomorrow morning. Orders will be ready for pick-up at the front entrance between 1:30 PM and 6:00 PM tomorrow. Please confirm your doughnuts matches your order form before you leave. 📌 A Quick Heads-Up: Due to overwhelming demand, we depleted Krispy Kreme’s inventory of certificates and BOGO cards! If your friends and family ordered these, Krispy Kreme will do their best, but they may not be available for pick-up tomorrow. They have assured us they will be ready by next week. We appreciate your patience and will update you as soon as they arrive. 🚦 Best Times to Pick Up: To avoid the busiest times, we recommend picking up between 3:30 and 5:00 PM if possible, as regular dismissal and My Life Matters dismissal can make navigating the parking lot a challenge. Thank you again for your support, patience, and enthusiasm! We can’t wait to see you tomorrow, and we hope your friends and family enjoy their delicious doughnuts! Please pass along our sincere appreciation for their support of Oak Lane! 🍩💙

Person County Schools will assess the weather conditions in the morning before making a decision about any potential changes to the school schedule for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12. We will share updates as soon as they become available. Stay safe!

Don't forget there is no school on Monday or Tuesday this week! On Monday, January 20, there will be no school as we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Dr. King. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a visionary leader who fought tirelessly for equality, justice, and peace. His leadership during the Civil Rights Movement changed the course of history, reminding us of the importance of standing up for what is right and treating all people with dignity and respect. This day off is more than just a break from school; it’s an opportunity to reflect on how we can live out Dr. King’s dream in our own lives. As Dr. King so beautifully said, "The time is always right to do what is right." Let’s honor his legacy by continuing to work towards making the world a better place for all. There will also be no school for students on Tuesday, January 21, as our teachers will be hard at work during a scheduled Teacher Workday! This important day gives our teachers the time they need to: 📝 Finalize report cards and evaluate student progress. 📖 Participate in professional development sessions to grow their skills and enhance classroom instruction. 💡 Collaborate with colleagues to plan meaningful lessons and activities for the weeks ahead. At Oak Lane Elementary, we are committed to providing the best learning experiences for our students, and our amazing teachers are always striving for excellence. Thank you for supporting their hard work and dedication! An updated Paw Print Newsletter will be shared tomorrow!

Reminder: No School on Tuesday, January 21st for a Required Teacher Workday for all schools except PECIL and Earl Bradsher Preschool
